Gorgeous Glam Doll Donuts

Glam Doll Donuts does not need my praise. The sure amount of people filling up the tables on a Tuesday morning at 8:30 am is proof enough of their popularity. Don't you people go to work? But let's talk about how great they are anyways.

The tiny shop sits behind the Black Forest Inn, on Nicollet Ave. You can't miss it due to the bright pink awning. The inside is a mash of vintage and retro soda shop styles accompanied by local artist submissions. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxed. To compliment the pink and white walls you can get yourself a pink and white 'Outlaw' donut, filled with lemon cream cheese and topped with cherry icing and brown butter crumb. If you're in the mood for a Crispy Cream you are in the wrong shop.

All of Glam Doll Donuts are handcrafted recipes that use 100% from-scratch ingredients. The wide variety of menu items includes donuts with ingredients such as Siracha, bacon topped maple icing, vegan and gluten free options, and many many more. From the first step in to the last bite out, Glam Doll Donuts will not leave you disappointed. Hey, you might even find a date while you wait. ;)

The worst part: Share one of these donuts. They are rich & a little dense.
The best part: Every lesbian in town is there.

Dykes

Two regular looking women working in the heart of the Twin Cities. The Diner Dykes don't make their faces known. This is not only to protect their identity but also to avoid special treatment when visiting restaurants and cafes.

"We want to see the lipstick on the cups."

"Yeah, we might even give you a better review if we do."

Their reviews are quick and to the point with an even briefer summary at the end of each review highlighting the best and the worst of each place. Finish off the criticism with a cute coffee cup rating and the dykes are done. Off to the next meal.
